Through my business, I have been hearing various tales of
pandemic fraud. These have generally come from sources close to contractors or
businesses taking advantage of self-employed grants and government backed
loans.
Some of these tales have a whiff of bar stool bullshit about

I was speaking to a chap I know the other day and I mentioned our cricket club had been showing football on the TV if he wished to watch the final there.
He told me that he would like to, but because he had watched previous games in the same the pub, he didn’t want to put a curse on the team by changing now. How bonkers is that?

the Conservative Populist Party ‘canary down the mine’?
Her application has made headlines in anti-populist
movements, with plenty of people suitably outraged. Elsewhere, nothing. Apathy,
denial, and in some cases, support for her application, is commonplace.
The Parliamentary Committee
